Real estate in Southside commands premium value. As of 2025, average home values in the area sit near $418,500, reflecting about 7–8% year-over-year growth. The median listing price for the neighborhood is quite elevated compared to broader parts of College Station.

Rental Market & Demand Drivers

The average rent in the broader College Station market is currently hovering around $2,000/month for all property types. Within Southside, single-family homes and multi-bedroom units often rent between $2,000 to $4,000+ depending on size, condition, and proximity to campus. You’ll find 2-bedroom units in Southside listed in the $1,300–$2,000 range, while larger homes (4–5 bedrooms) are pulling $3,000–$4,000+ per month.

What fuels this demand? A mix of students, graduate students, faculty, and staff—all drawn to Southside’s walkability, character, and location. Because on-campus housing is limited, many prefer to rent off campus in neighborhoods like Southside for both convenience and lifestyle.

Why Property Management Matters Here

Historic areas bring additional complexity: preservation guidelines, unique maintenance needs, strict turn-around (unit turnover) timing, and tenant screening that blends students and longer-term residents. Local property management helps you optimize rent, minimize vacancy, and maintain the historic appeal—something generalized managers may undervalue.

The architectural diversity means some units require more upgrading—hardwood restoration, custom windows, vintage fixtures—so a manager who knows local contractors and historical compliance is a big asset.
